Welcome to Pocono's Chapter 204

Welcome to the Internet home of Pocono's Chapter 204, STAR Touring and Riding Association. STAR Touring and Riding is a family oriented organization which is all inclusive of all types of bikes and all types of riders. Chapter 204 members, over 50 strong, come from many backgrounds but have one purpose - to ride and have a good time.

Chapter 204 Annual Picnic

Every year Chapter 204 hosts a free picnic for friends, family and other STAR Touring chapters - many of whom fall into the previous two categories! This year saw good weather and a great turnout - if you could not make it this year plan on making it next year where the open roads, terrific scenery and good times make it an event worthy of any event calendar. See you next year.

We are about Riding...

We do a lot of things, but we are primarily a riding group. That is why we're open to all brands of motorcycles. Our rides consist of Chapter rides, pokers runs, holiday rides, over-nights, pre-rides, fun-rides and rallies with members of our group and more!

We are Inclusive, Not Exclusive. . .

Even though this organization was originally founded as an owner's group for Yamaha's Star line of cruisers, we have always been open to all brands of bikes. Several of our members own more than one brand of bike and many of us have ridden several brands over the years. Some of our members had never ridden before. They have taken the Motorcycle Safety Foundation course to learn (http://www.msf-usa.org/ - Highly Recommended!!) and have just purchased their first bike.

We Ride Safe, Clean & Sober. . .

 

Most of our members have never belonged to an organized motorcycle group. They tried us out and found out how we ride. We take our time and look for the scenic roads so we can relax and enjoy our time. We don't speed. We don't drink, even beer, on our rides. It's in violation of our National Charter. We focus on safe riding and having a good time. We make rest stops. We want people to be comfortable; it's not an endurance contest. We have passengers who didn't enjoy riding with their partners before they joined our group, but our focus on safety & comfort changed their minds.

 

Help Us Grow. . .

Many of our members never had the intention of joining a riding group. They tried us out and found that they liked what we are about. Consistent, pre-planned, safe, organized rides. A regular schedule is e-mailed to you monthly and posted on our web site. Our dedicated leadership and members are our strength. We enjoy riding together. The destinations, the meals, the camaraderie are all part of it. We are about getting away to relax and enjoy your motorcycle; the reason you bought it. Try us out and you may find that's what you're about, too.
